Bar U Ranch, Historic ranch and park in Foothills County, Canada.
The Bar U Ranch extends across 148 hectares of land against the Rocky Mountains, featuring original buildings from the late 1800s ranching era.
The ranch, established in 1904 under George Lane's leadership, became a central location for developing western Canada's cattle industry and farming methods.
The site maintains traditional ranching practices through demonstrations of roping techniques, horse-drawn wagon rides, and cowboy skill workshops for visitors.
Visitors need to purchase admission tickets, with free entry for youth, and should note that pets are not permitted within the grounds.
The property contains a network of marked trails with strategically placed red chairs, offering multiple viewpoints of the ranch operations.
